Fined for illegible parking in SG

The government's car park division is doing a roaring business by imposing heavy fines on vehicles that are parked indiscriminately at areas meant for loading/unloading of goods. Everyday, thousands of dollars in fine is being collected. This is not the only source of income for the government because there are many other ways in which they could impose fines on motorists, example: speeding, running the red lights etc. People who use their mobile phones while driving is also subjected to being fined as well as drink driving.

Today, I went to Changi Hospital for post cataract operation checkup. The eye pressure has dropped to 17 which is considered normal. It was 23 the day after the ops.
Travelling time to the hospital and back was 2 hours. Waiting time was 2 hours but consultation time was only 10 minutes.
After consultation, I headed to the coffee shop near the Simei MRT Station and had charsiew/siew yok rice ($3). Cabbage and chicken feet soup was free flow at no cost. After lunch, I ordered a cup of kopi O ($1.80) at ToastBox which was about 10 meters away. The kopi O was about the same standard as the one which was sold at the coffee shop ($1). Promised myself never to order any kopi from Simei ToastBox again. For dessert, I went up to the upper level of Eastpoint Mall (think it was Food Junction) and had a whole coconut ($3.50). The meat was jelly-like (too soft) and the juice was sourish. Again I told myself never to have the coconut again at this mall.
Finally, I had a haircut from a Malay barber shop (same level as the Food Junction). I was rather shock that a haircut is now $12 instead of $10!

Cataract operation in Changi Hospital

I had cataract operation on my right eye. In August last year I had the ops on my left eye. This time I did not take any pictures of the time I spent in the hospital. It was day surgery and all went well except that my wrist was blue black due to the needle that was inserted for the anesthesia. The young male anesthetist was not so efficient or experienced hence the blue black mark!
The ops it self was fast (about 10 minutes) but the prepartion and the recovery time in the ward was about 2 hours. They will take your blood pressure, instil eyedrops etc and make sure you are fit to go through the ops. One thing that is bad is the temperature in the ward and ops theathre which is very cold. With the anxiety and cold environment, your BP could shoot up skyhigh.
The ops cost for 1 eye is about $1,200 after subsidy. I was told w/o subsidy, it would have cost 4+K.
I was allowed to use 1K from my medisave (which is actually my own money) and $200 cash.
The surgeon who operated on me had 9 other patients on the same day. Must say the nursing staff are nice and professional people. About 50% of the nurses in the operating theater were Filipinas.
I am now in the recovery mode and should be up and about in the next few days.

A touching story

Guardian Pharmacy sells the above blood pressure guage about $17 less ($79) than Unity which usually gives senior citizen some discounts. I was almost conned into buying it from Unity had I not checked the price with Guardian which has a store in the same shopping mall.

There is a newly opened Food Paradise coffee shop at block 417, Fernvale Link (opp H2O Condo). I was there this morning. The kopi and tea are much more expensive than most coffee shops. The kopi/teh O is $1.10 and with milk is $1.20. The service is very very slow as the kopi uncle is old and inexperienced. I had the nasi briyani which is so lousy and expensive ($6 for a fish briyani that is full of fish scales) that I didn't finished eating it.

Had my usual oh luwak and kopi O at Ang Mo Kio " Chong Boon" Food Center this afternoon. Not satisfied, I decided to try the Prawn Mee with soup nearby. In fact, I was recommended by a friend to try the mee. It was quite good and substantial for the price ($3). There was no queue at all.
